Actually they do have a 34kmph max
Overall time limits vary for each brevet according to the distance.
These are: (in hours and minutes, HH:MM) 13:30 for 200 KM, 20:00 for
300 KM, 27:00 for 400 KM, 40:00 for 600 KM, and 75:00 for 1000 KM.Additionally, riders must arrive at each checkpoint between the
opening and closing time for the checkpoint and calculated as follows:
Opening: 34 km / h (km 1 to 200); 32 km / h (km 201 to 400); 30 km / h
(km 401 to 600); 28 km / h (km 601 to 1000); commercial rounded by the
minute. Closing: 1 hour + 20 km / h (km 1 to 60); 15 km / h (km 61 to
600); 11.428 km / h (km 601 to 1000); commercial rounded by the
minute.

That is quick! Very interesting to hear how things are done elsewhere. It depends on who is riding and what they want to do, and local laws and customs, I suppose.
But a lot of events do run on that basis of 'it's not a race but you came xxth'. It's a theme in ultras where some events started off wanting to be races but then pulled back from that.
Does ACP not have a maximum speed? Didn't know that.
